I've got an 1858 FE in vf/ef & a 1959 PF66 Franklin for trade Thanks in advance

Corina, it's been about a dozen years since we've done buisness. I'll go 5 bucks.

There's a partial set sitting in a pawn shop here, for what seems forever.. They'red being sold individually @ 13.99. I'm pretty sure you got a better deal.

Keith's for transportation, too! http://www.exonumist.com/

You need to provide much more detailed pics, including the edge. as there are a few varieties of this piece.

Have a pic of the roman?

Initially, these were made in the '30s by Groetchen Tool and Mfg. Co. They were used in their slot machines.

Mike Pellerin from Lompoc? Howdy anyway.

I found it on coin quest. search "1935 hitler 5 rm" just google will take you there. Interesting story.

After you asked @ the other place, I spent an hour researching & found a page where original & fantasies were side by side.. They gave the weight & circumstances of release, or lack thereof. I'll browse my history, to see where that was.

These are game counter pieces. They were also used as political tokens.

You are going with the supposition that counterfeiting is about the $$. Henning held a grudge, & tried to pull off w/the 5c, what he couldn't with the $5. It all about what drives you.

Art, I'll get back to you when I have the time to see what she's got. Thanks for the reply. Sounds as if you've got sumpin. I'll stay in touch.

Great sleuthing! Any idear on designer/maker/date?

My wife is now expanding her birth-year binder. She currently has over 200 diff. pieces. Medals are OK too, as long as they're dated. Notes also, no US or Can. needed. With the price of silver, nows the time to gobble up some new diffs. Condition unimportant, but date needs to be legible to the naked eye. I have several '62-'95 INC-BU Jeff sets for trqade, or that green stuff.

I'd like to see a cose-up of the 50c war piece. Varieties exist & looks like some decent toning may be going on. You never know.

I find that the best books are the ones w/fewest pages. Also, curious how they show a BU '93 1/2 eagle in a book concerning mutuilation.

Finn, I'm always on the look-out for a '44 Henning. I do doubletakes on pieces with that type of porousity.

Forgot the pics in question. That's better.

Is this a tooling error or true trails? Jury's out on this piece. Anyone?

Hey finn, do you have a rev. image of your "ugly" war nic?

Found out yesterday Bank of the Cascades have bags in all denominations. Primarily Idaho & Oregon.

I've happily completed 8 full Jeff sets from circulation. Found most double-dies, RPMs, OMMs and a slew of wicked errors. The secret? Have 2 strokes within 6 months. Initially began getting my fingers moving, flipping each to view both sides. Couldn't get away with it in the hospital, but I kept well stocked in the convelecent hell-hole. I'm back 75%, walking, talking and being a general pain. I scour through at least 10,000 pieces per week. (4 boxes) My high is 21 Buffs with dates from a single box. Ditto on another occasion, 30 wars. The most lucrative have been the 82's & 83's, with a roll of aUNC '82P's netting me $110. While the silver is drying up, its apparent collections are being dumped. (3 UNC & 1 BU 50-D) This is my take, Fine or better, from the last month: 1899 Liberty 05 Liberty 35 buff 37 buff Jeffs 38 38d 38s 39 39s 40 40d 40s 41 41d 41s 42 42d 43S war 44S war 45P war 46 46d 46s 47 47s 48 48d 49 49d 50 50d 51d 52 52d 52s 53 53d 53s 54 54d 54s 55d 56 56d 57 57d 58 58d 59 59d All '60's-present in UNC. I pulled mutiples, even rolls of many dates. Probably the biggest shocker was a nearly flawless '51-S BTW, '09P's for the month is @ 36, while the D's @ 6. And that's in Idaho.

No Philly steelie? I've got a roll of uncs. Send your addy again, T-3. Your set is coming along nicely.

Actually it's my head firmly planted......elsewhere.
